before the date, Saturday, May 15, 2010, instead of the Centre for Science and Technology of Food and Agriculture of South East Asian or Southeast Asian Food and Agricultural Science and Technology (SEAFAST) Center, a scientific debate on “The role of milk in improving the nutritional status of children: policies, benefits and best practices.” This as a speaker at the event were Dr. Purwiyatno Hariyadi SEAFAST Center Director and senior research fellow the Institute, Prof.. Prof. Dr. Wirakartakusumah and Aman. Dr. Dedi Fardiaz. We hope the visit, through discussion of scientists, government agencies, the dairy industry could, consumer organizations, associations and related professionals to better understand the importance of milk in the diet can be achieved to improve the nutrition of children.
Indonesia remains a national nutrition problem indicated by the results of the average rate of malnutrition and infant mortality, malnutrition of 5.4% in acute malnutrition and 13% of malnutrition (National Survey 2007). When the 19 other provinces, existing numbers even higher. If current estimates, there are approximately 20 million children under five years, the figures: children who are malnourished and malnutrition 2.5 million that the experience of one million, an amount that is large enough. Besides the problems of macro-nutrients are also available micronutrient deficiencies, as the most common are iron anemia.
In addition, it is still relevant, is the low intake of animal protein in Indonesia. The post-2005 data, consumption of animal protein in Indonesia, 4.5 g / p / day, which is still very low, the consumption of animal protein compared with the world, namely, 23.9 g / p / day. Although the intake of animal protein plays an important role in meeting the nutrition of children, because infants and young children can grow and develop properly, the nutrients in accordance with their needs required. On the other hand, the trend in the prevalence of overweight also occurs both in infants and children of school age.
Moderate impact of malnutrition in the Human Development Index, in which Indonesia and 111 ranking of 182 countries. At the age of infants and young children long enough nutrients for physical growth, such as the level and brain development necessary. The nutrients can not be enough food in quantity and quality needed. Milk is a food that the potential benefits, and that is including the essential amino acids, and minerals (Ca, P, Mg, K). In addition, milk is of good quality and protein digestibility, amino acid score is given, and protein efficiency ratio (PER). However, breast milk is the best food for babies. The implementation of energy and nutrition for infants 0-6 months, breast milk should be fulfilled. But after the baby is six months, energy and nutrients can not be fully satisfied by the ASI. Therefore, after the age of 6 months of breastfeeding and complementary feeding, the concept of diversity of food.
For the people of Indonesia, the national milk consumption remains very low, about 7.7 liters / person / year (equivalent to 19 g per day) or one tenth of the world consumption of milk. There are many factors which affect, among which the low national milk production, low purchasing power and the culture of drinking in public. Communities are often exaggerated in the interpretation of the benefits of dairy products with misleading advertising, it is necessary for the proper education of all stakeholders. Until now, consumer products based on considerations such as dairy products you choose for the allocation of the child’s age, the pediatrician recommended prices, the influence of advertising, design and promotional gifts. Therefore, the nutrition program to improve efficiency and sustainable if accompanied by education programs on nutrition and healthy eating to the public.
Written with the help of technology, development of dairy products from fast today, including products specifically formulated for growth and development of children (over one year). In industry terminology, is called a dairy product or an international expansion as a growing up milk (GUM known). In Indonesia, growth, growth of dairy products generally available in powder form rather quickly. The different milk products for market growth in Indonesia are usually functional ingredients, such as certain fatty acids, probiotics, prebiotics (FOS enriched / SMO), and other ingredients such as vitamins and minerals. However, there is the legal definition of growth in milk is not.
Before the existence of consensus on the classification of growth suggests milk foods are kept in the category including 01.0 (milk and other dairy products). However, if the available scientific knowledge about the benefits of certain functional components of foods are classified as functional foods, in accordance with applicable law. There are differences in the age group nutrition labeling, nutritional adequacy of numbers, codes and SNI. Therefore, harmonization is needed to reach a consensus on the meaning of “Milk growth.” The consensus on the definition and categorization of milk growth is important both for the government (the contractor and supervisor), industry (agents) and consumers (users). The consensus is for consumers to be improved and the general public the right information to make better decisions.
